Maysmead Cottage, a charming property with origins tracing back to the 1800s, presents a unique opportunity for renovation and investment. Nestled on the outskirts of the sought-after village of Langford, this residence benefits from its proximity to the picturesque Mendip Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, providing both serene rural living and accessibility to local amenities.
Currently configured as a three-bedroom home, Maysmead Cottage is in need of comprehensive modernization. Notably, full planning permission has already been secured to expand it into a spacious five-bedroom family residence, offering approximately 2,400 to 2,500 square feet of versatile living space when completed. This expansion not only enhances the property’s potential but also significantly increases its investment value.
The cottage is set on a generous plot surrounded by stone walls and mature hedging, ensuring privacy and creating a tranquil outdoor environment. A long driveway leads up to this attractive white-rendered home with its distinctive terracotta-tiled roof. Inside, you will find two reception rooms flanking the central hallway, each adorned with deep recessed windows that frame views of the front garden and traditional open fireplaces—ideal for creating cozy living spaces.
The rear of the home features a kitchen/breakfast room that offers delightful vistas over open farmland. Adjacent to this space is a sunroom/store that could be reimagined as part of future renovations. The upper level comprises two double bedrooms and one single bedroom, all showcasing beautiful wooden floors. The principal bedroom boasts an elegant cast iron fireplace while the existing tiled family bathroom serves these rooms.
Maysmead Cottage's exterior is equally appealing; it sits well back in its sizeable garden with ample parking possibilities that could be more formally arranged if desired. The grounds are beautifully punctuated by greenery, including a magnificent mature cherry tree that adds character to the landscape. Additionally, there are storage sheds on-site which can be integrated into the new plans for both the house and an attached garage.
This property represents not just a home but an exceptional opportunity for those looking to create their ideal living space while simultaneously making a sound investment in an attractive location with significant growth potential.
